At the time, Kanye said that Taylor gave the line her blessing

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that bitch famous’.

But just a couple of hours ago, Kim Kardashian seemed to blow that story out of the water – by posting a video on Snapchat of Kanye apparently reading Taylor part of THAT exact lyric over the phone – and no caution was heard

I think it would be great for me to be like, “look, he called me and told me about the line before it came out”. Like, joke’s on you guys, we’re fine. You guys wanna call this a feud, you wanna call this throwing shade. But right after the song comes out, I’m gonna be on a Grammy red carpet and they’re gonna ask me about it. And I’m gonna be like, he called me.

That confirmation never came, but the video that Kim posted never showed Kanye revealing the ”I made that bitch famous” line.

So:

Taylor has since posted her response – claiming that this is a “character assassination”
